Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 27, 1912.

Application filed June 5, 1911. Serial No. 631,219.

. with the view of its equable or uniform distribution along thebowl-contour and its upper edge rim.

A further object is to intercept or abate the force or pressure of thewater as it is delivered for flushing the bowl regardless of the sourceor head-pressure.

A still further object is to provide for not only washing down orflushing the bowl proper, but also to wash or clean the flushing roll orrim itself well upwardly from its upper surface downwardly toward thebowl.

A still further object is to, carry out the aforesaid ends, in a simple,expeditious, effective and inexpensive manner.

The invention consists of certain instrumentalities and featuressubstantially as hereinafter fully disclosed and defined by the claims.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of myinvention, wherein it will be understood that numerous changes andmodifications may be made as relates to the details of the constructionand'--v roll in modified form; Figt is a like view of like partsdisclosing another modification. v.

. In utting my invention into practice, I provi ethe closet-bowl l ofthe well known siphonic action type, or as for that matter of a othermake, with a roll or rim 2 of the tubular or hollow outline andextending either artly or wholly around the upper edge 0 the bowl, beingintegral therew th. This rim-member or roll 2, with wh ch co unicatesthewater-inlet or supplly pipe 3, provided in its bottom close to t e innerwe. of the bowl with a circular arrange ment of closely assembledperforations or openings 4 for suitably delivering or passmg the water,received within said roll or rim-member, down along the inner surface ofthe bowl, immediately from the roll or rim thus providing for washingdown the entire inner wall surface of the bowl proper for the effectiveremoval of all foreign matter therefrom. The roll or rim-member 2 hasalso in its'inner annular or circular surface quite near the very upperedge thereof a preferably continuous opening or slot 5. for the furtherdelivery or passing of water,. received within said roll orrim-membentherefrom, in this case,fdowi1" upon the roll or rim member,itself, inbroad sheet-form for effecting the removal, or washing off thesame,,any adhering fecal or other foreign matter.

From the foregoing'structure, ncluding the roll or rim having thedouble-water delivery outlets ii the form oft-the circular arrangementof pei'forations and the continuous opening or slot, it will be notedthat the bowl proper in its entirety, as well as the roll or rim, arethoroughly or efl'ec-' tively cleaned of allsuch matter.

The bowl rim or roll 2, which as before stated, is tubular or hollow,has arranged therein a horizontally disposed sub-dividing preferablydownwardly curved or concaved member, or septum 6, forming substantiallya partition intermediate the upper and lower water outlet pointswithintherim or roll as clearly disclosed in either Fig. 1 or Fig. 2.

In the partition or member 6 about centrally thereofyare numerousperforations or apertures 7-, distributed uniformly throughout saidpartition, for the passage there'- through in the desired manner'of thewater upv-into the upper part'of the roll or rim, whence 'itis deliveredthrough the outlets 5, into the bowl as aforesaid.

As suggested by, Fig. 3' thewalls of the or reinforeed'by te'arrangement or forma tion in'connection therewith of struts orpartition like portions 8 disposed at suitable intervals throughout theslot preferably as disclosed. Also, as shown in this figure, is apendent partition or baflio 9 arrangedcontiguous to, and intermediatethewater outletsj't-and the perforations 7 in the partition or memberfi, toguard against the casual splashing of the water out through saidoutlets, especially when under a very heavy delivery'slot 5 ma be, orrather are, braced head or pressure of water, thereby'control hug thedelivery of the water into the hovel.

spaced of? from the inner surface thereof,

so as to form a continuous circular delivery or discharging opening orslot 11 correspondingfto/the above referred to water delivery opening orslot. The delivery or discharge trend of the o'peningor slot 11 ispreferably downward to cause the issuing sheet of water to follow thecontour. of the bowl rim or roll therebelow for efiective washing orcleansing action.

It is clearl apparent from the foregoing disclosure, ta en in connectionwith the accompanying illustration or drawing, that my invention ischaracterized for great simplicity of structure, embracing the minimumnumber of parts therefore inexpensive of manufacture, wlnle it isefiective in action for the thorough washing down of the bowl includingthe washing or cleaning of the bowl rim or roll, besides being adaptedto control the pressure of the inlet-water and to uniformly deliver anddistribute" the water for cleansing action.

What is claimed:

1. A closet-bowl having a tubular upperedge roll or rim, said rim orroll having upper and lower water outlets the lower water-outletdelivering the water for efiecting the bowl flushing or washing action,said roll also havin apertured partition-member intermediate said uppervand lower water outlets.

2. A. closet-bowl having an upper-edge tubular roll provided with upperand lower water-delivery outlets in its upper and lower inner portionsrespectively and a substantially horizontal partition-forming memberhaving numerous water delivering perforations therethrough, saidpartition torming member being intermediate said upper and lower Wateroutlets.

3. A closet-bowl having an upper-edge tubular roll provided with upperand lower waterdelivery outlets in its upper and lower a substantiallyhorizontal \inner portions, respectively, a partitionforrcing memberhaving numerous waterdelivering perforations therethrough and arrangedintermediate said upper and lower water-delivery outlets, and anadditional battle-member dependingv from the inner upper surface of saidroll and having its lower edge spaced oil from, and arranged contiguousto said perforated partition.

4. A closet-bowl having an upper-edge tubular roll provided,intermediate its upper and lower portions with a substantiallyhorizontal perforated partition forming member, said roll l having awatermember arranged intermediate said partition and said water-outlet.

5. A closet-bowl having a hollow-roll or rim having an upperwater-outlet and a water-inlet, said roll or rim having thereinsubstantially horizontally into upper and lower compartments andarranged intermediate said water-inlet and said water-outlet, saidwater-inlet providing for delivering the water below said perforatedpartition and said perforated partition being adapted to serve as abaiile for the water finally delivered through said water-outlet.

6. A closet-bowl having an upper-edge tubular member provided with asubstantially horizontal perforated partition, said tubularmember-having a lateral delivery CHARLES W. BESWICK.
